THIS THANKSGIVING BE GRATEFUL . . . FOR NOTHING!

11/26/2020

 


. . . that no unfortunate events came into your life.
You didn’t become unemployed, like many others.
You didn’t get sick, like many others.
You didn’t lose good friends over political differences,
like many others.
You didn’t get a diagnoses of a life threatening illness,
like many others.
You don’t live in a war zone, like many others.
You are not starving and suffering from famine,
like many others.
. . . be grateful ‘nothing happened’!
- Victor M. Parachin


THE TWO MOST RARE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD . . . ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA

11/26/2020

 
“These two people are hard to find in the world. Which two? The one who is first to do a kindness, and the one who is grateful and thankful for a kindness done.” - Buddha Anguttara Nikaya (AN 2:118). Commenting on this teaching, Thanassaro Bhikkhu, abbot of the Metta Forest Monastery in San Diego County writes: “In saying that kind and grateful people are rare, the Buddha isn’t simply stating a harsh truth about the human race. He’s advising you to treasure these people when you find them, and—more importantly—showing how you can become a rare person yourself.”
